I will be very happy when July 31st gets here. That’s when the extra $600 a week for unemployment finally expires. That may sound horrible, but I’m on the opposite end of that. I have worked through this entire thing, and the only applicants I’ve gotten for my critically short staffed store, have been applying for the unemployment requirement that they do so. Have only had one day off since November 14th. ONE. Plus, I’m already on schedule for a minimum of 80 hours a week, and if anyone calls off, I get to cover it. Because I don’t have enough staff. So my average work week is more like 90 hours or better. Awful damn tired of people working the system.

Egads. Hope you go from understaffed to just staffed soon.

We should have, between full and part time, 15 people. We have 8.

Thank you! Honestly, I’m not all that bothered by getting older as long as I don’t act older.

Keep yer fingers crossed that we get staffing issues finally settled for where I work. It has been BRUTAL. Sixty hours worked since Saturday. And I’m not done.

I feel your pain. Training the newbies – who are younger than my children. As if the work wasn’t exhausting enough! Good Luck DG!

Yep, get paid OT. But, it would be NICE to be awake to enjoy it! Ah well. Going into my third hell week, and then things should be evening out a bit.

Have the garden gnomes made a tribe, and play drums to keep you awake at night as they pray at their little altar to their demon Goddess?

weeds are certainly tall enough for me not to know!

Sounds like your yard’s a jungle. It’d be a real shame if your phone somehow got “lost” in it for the next two days… I mean, you were simply unavailable if work decided to call.
-
And my day off is no more. Got called in for second shift. Jeeez

Do you like this job? (Just asking, because I’d suggest finding one that lets you have some time off...)

Seriously, this is how the USPS ended up making “going postal” a household phrase.

85.24 hours this pay period. AAAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHH

Pay period is seven days, Wednesday to Tuesday. So that 85+ hours was Thursday through Tuesday. I also worked Wednesday for 13.5 and today for 10.5. I THINK I’m off tomorrow, but I don’t know for sure yet
-
7 days is 168 hours, max, so yeah, 100+ hrs/week, that’s some serious overloading which I normally don’t hear about apart from the game development industry! And here I thought you’d have a vacation or something, you deserve it!
-
Where’s the “Yikes!” reaction button?
-
70.45 hours and there is one more day to the pay period. Put me outta my misery!

That is bruuutal!
-
That is just insane, you’re working similar hours to my dad during high season! That’s just crazy.
-
I had a stretch with overtime like that and it was a killer, but the money was good. I hope you do get a quieter period coming up though after the pay period!
-
Ugh. Phase one of my VERY LONG WORK WEEK is done. 12 hours Wednesday, 14 hours Thursday, and 14.5 hours yesterday.

We’ve had call ins as well. Hence the excessive hours.
-
I prescribe you a two week vacation, you know, stress relief.
-
Call ins should have a limit to them, not give anyone hours like that, with little chance to rest.
